Happy Valentine's Day! Terry emailed me today with 14 detailed photos of under the car. Overall it looks to be in great shape, but there is a little rust under the battery that he says they may need to replace when it goes for compliance. It doesn't look bad to me, but we'll see how strict NZ is.
It's a 22 year old car that was driven regularly, so this was pretty much what I expected to see.
It rains a lot in Japan and I did expect some rusty bits. They have pretty strict car inspections (like New Zealand) and seem to take a lot of pride in their cars. Just about every car we saw over there looked brand new because of how well they take care of them.
The rust isn't bad at all. Also, possibly more exciting, Terry said the official date of shipment out of Japan is Feb. 23rd! Only another week and a half until the car is on it's way! He said it's been taking a long time because of all the paperwork in Japan, but it seems to be happening pretty quick to me. CAN'T WAIT!!
